Washington,
April 5, 2011
WASHINGTON: Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus released the following information regarding the pay of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives. Later today, the Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises Subcommittee will vote on a bill introduced by Chairman Bachus to suspend the compensation packages for executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. H.R. 1221, the Equity In Government Compensation Act, places all employees on the General Schedule pay scale. The top 11 executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made almost twice as much as the entire U.S. Senate in 2010.
The CEOs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each made virtually the same amount as the Justices of the Supreme Court, Cabinet Secretaries, the President of the United States, and the Vice President of the United States combined.
